The Man Who Knew Too Much

*Illustrated

*Includes Table of Contents


Although G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936) is often known for his wit, a characteristic that earned him the nickname “Prince of Paradox,” it would do a disservice to the prolific writer to mention just one aspect of his work. In fact, Chesterton is still read heavily in subject matter as diverse as philosophy, ontology, poetry, journalism, biographies, and mysteries. In addition to writing for papers, Chesterton wrote dozens of books, hundreds of poems and short stories, some plays, and thousands of essays in his 62 years of life. He produced seminal religious works such as Orthodoxy, as well as the biographical Charles Dickens: A Critical Study. 

The Man Who Knew Too Much is a collection of 8 stories that tell the story of Horne Fisher's adventures. Fisher uses deduction to investigate crimes committed on ritzy aristocratic estates across the countryside. 

This edition of Chesterton’s The Man Who Knew Too Much is specially formatted with a Table of Contents and is illustrated with over a dozen pictures of Chesterton.
